Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: STH
Concept:

Somatotropic Hormone (STH), also known as Growth Hormone (GH), stimulates protein synthesis and bone growth.

Solution:

  • If there is hypersecretion of STH after the epiphyseal plates of long bones have closed (i.e., in adulthood), the bones can no longer lengthen.


  • Instead, bones in the hands, feet, jaw, and face become abnormally thick, a condition clinically termed acromegaly.


Why other options are incorrect:

Over-secretion of TSH causes hyperthyroidism. ICSH and FSH affect the gonads, not systemic skeletal thickening.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
